Liana woke up the next day. She groaned as her head started pounding. She sat up and looked at the time. At least, she is off from work today. She got up and went to the bathroom and took a shower and got ready. She decided to make a quick breakfast.She couldn't recalled much of last night after she and Stacy came out. When she was eating her breakfast She saw a coat on the couch. She got choked and started coughing. She stood up and ran to the couch. It was an expensive coat and most importantly it was a male's coat.

She slapped her self.

"What the heck did I do last night?" she asked herself out loud and started rummaging the pockets to see if there is any information about the owner of the coat. There was nothing in it. She groaned out loud.

"It is so freaking expensive." she said when she saw the brand. The material was soft and cozy inside.

She messaged Stacy.

"Stacyyyy, Are you there?"

There was no message for sometime. Getting bored of waiting she decided to utilized the time by doing laundry and cleaning the house. She decided to order some dumplings from a Restaurant after cleaning and doing her laundry. She sat down to eat with a newspaper spread out in front of her.

"Wow, they are looking for a colorist in a Comic company. I might as well try over there first." she thought as she took a pen and circled the job search. Just then, her phone started to ring. It was Stacy.

"Hello, I am here." Stacy said in a low voice.

"You sound a little tired."

"It's just my head, it is pounding." Stacy said.

Liana can imagine Stacy rubbing her head as she said that.

"I wanted to ask how did I get home last night?" Liana finally asked.

"I have no idea, girl." Stacy said surprised by Liana's question.

"Really?" Liana said surprised.

"Yeah, I went home first. I think." Stacy said trying to recall about last night.

"I have a male's coat with me and it looks-"

"You have a what?" Stacy screamed. "Did a guy dropped you off home? Did you meet a guy after dropping me? You had an after party without me?" Stacy pouted.

Liana laughed.

"Sure." Liana rolled her eyes.

"What about the coat?"

"It looks expensive and smell of money." Liana said.

"How do you smell money?" Stacy asked.

Liana rolled her eyes again. "Just by looking at it."

"Is there any card or notes inside the pocket?" Stacy asked.

"None."

"Wow, seems like the rich man doesn't want his coat. Too bad it is a man's coat otherwise you can wear it." Stacy joked.

"Whatever. I will just keep it safely and see if there is any sign of the man."

"I wonder if he is handsome." Stacy said laughing.

"Whatever. Are you working today?" Liana asked.

"Yea, no free days for me. I will do night shift today. Have to see how the cafes are doing. I will be going around to my other Cafes tomorrow, so you won't be hearing from me for a while."

"Lucky me." Liana joked.

"Sure. Don't miss me so much though." Stacy said. "Alrighty, I got to go now. Laters." she said before ending the call.

Liana scrolled through her social medias. She hardly have any real friends in real life. Her social medias are filled with people she knew from schools. Everyone seemed settled in life. Most of them shows off where they are working, or they are in vacation and she was not surprised most of them are married and started a family. She is going to be 28 soon. She feels like she haven't achieved much in life. She is still trying to follow her dreams.

Just then, there was sound coming from the doors.

"Stranger is entering." the door's security system announced. Liana had put up security system in her house as she lives alone. She stood up and tip toed to the door. She left a sighed of relief when she heard her mom's loud voice.

Her mom and her sister was here to visit her.

"Mom, please inform me when you are coming." she said as soon as she saw her Mother holding lots of bags.

"You are at home? You don't have work today?" her mom said surprised.

"At least I didn't have work today."

"Mia and I are here to drop you some foods." her mom said unpacking some foods.

"Mom, I am old enough to take care of that!" Liana said.

"Yea, old enough but I can't see anything inside the fridge." her younger sister, who is 18 said while showing the empty fridge.

"That's because I didn't have a chance to go for grocery shopping." Liana tried to explained.

"That's great! because we already got the foods for you. We can go out for shopping and then dinner?" her mom said looking excited.

"I am tired. Today is the only day I have off." Liana said whining.

"You don't want to spend that time with your mom and sister who traveled so far to spend time with you." her mom pouted.

"If I was not at home, you two would have went anyway."Liana said pointing out the fact.

"Well, at least you are here today so let's go." Mia said.

"Fine." she said huffing. "Let me get ready. Don't complain if I take my time because you two came unannounced and you all invited me last moment for shopping." Liana said.

When Liana came out of the bathroom she almost slipped because her mother screamed as she walked out.

"Liana Parker, you got yourself a man and never told your mother about it?" her mother said holding the coat.

"I can explain." Liana said.

"What is there to explain? Your boyfriend is rich." Mia said. "This coat cost thousands of dollars and it is a limited edition coat."

"Wait, what? Really?" Liana said shocked.

"Yea. This coat is the talk of the town. All the boys in school was talking about this expensive coat that was about to be sold. Your boyfriend got it." Mia said.

"I don't have any boyfriend and I have no idea who that coats also belongs to." Liana said shrugging off and drying her hair.

"Did you stole this coat?" Mia gasped. "You stole a limited edition coat which is worth thousands of dollars."

"You stole this? Liana? Just because you are living alone does not means you will start-"

"Stop it! I didn't steal anything... last night Stacy and I went out for a couple of drinks and this morning I found this coat." Liana said blow drying her hair.

"Did you meet a guy?" her mother said turning her to face her.

Liana looked at her mother's eyes and smiled.

"No."

"Damn. Don't do that! For a moment I thought you found yourself a rich boyfriend." Mia said stomping her feet.

"Do not curse and if I look for a boyfriend. I want someone with good personality." she said smiling.

"What are you planning to do with the coat?" Mia asked.

"I don't know...." Liana thought. "Maybe, keep it in the closet."

"That's such a bad idea, how about you give it to me and I will look for someone who wants it for a cheaper price?" Mia said excitedly.

Liana looked at Mia. "No. You can't do that. You never know who the owner is and he might sue us for selling his limited edition coat." Liana said.

Oliver woke up and sneezed a couple of time. He felt really sick today. Last night, after work. His right hand and best friend, Jason Kyle went for dinner and was walking on the street when they met a crazy drunk woman. That woman was beautiful, Oliver thought but she was crazy and weird. Oliver had to give his coat away to that girl who looked like she will freeze soon with the thin jacket she was wearing in this cold weather and now he is sick.

"That girl better be thankful. I give my limited edition coat to her." he said.

He sat up on the bed and pick up his phone.

"Good morning, CEO Lee." Lawrence greeted at the other end.

"Lawrence, cancel all my appointments and reschedule them. I won't be coming to the office today."

"Your voice doesn't sound too well. Should I call a doctor and drop some soup off?"

"I am fine. I will just take a day off. Make sure that Wendy does not find out and come to my place. She is stalking me way too much these days and I need to do something about it."

"I will look into that matter for you." Lawrence said.

"That will be great! That's all for now." he said and hung up.

"How can someone so perfect get sick?" he asked out loud to himself. He got up and went to wash his face. He went down to see his Butler, who was making breakfast for him.

"Good morning, Mr. Lee." the butler said. "Oh no, you look so pale." the butler asked. "Are you sick?"

"Mr. Kang, a handsome person like me at times have pale face when they are sick."

Mr. Kang looks at Oliver sheepishly. "Would you like to have some soup?"

"Yes, please. Today, I will be at home. So I want to have all the meals at home."

"Yes, sir." Mr. Kang replied.

Oliver sneezed once again.

"That girl better be grateful that she met a handsome guy like me." he said out loud.

"Did you say something, sir?" Mr. Kang asked.

"Nothing." he said as he looked out of the window.
